Chen Mobai could sense that Peach Blossom Sage was hiding sothing from him.
However, considering the hidden depth among the Dance Instrunts, Patching Heaven, and Kunpeng lineages, he decided not to delve deeper.
After all, as long as Heavenly Blessing didn’t sound an alarm, it ant that the issue was just a trifling matter he could suppress with ease.
The Jumang lineage, at most, only had the potential for Divinity Transformation. Yet Chen Mobai, after leaving Purple Cloud Palace, had grown so strong that even he couldn’t fathom his own extent.
He believed that if he were to fight the old Flood Dragon again, he could slay it even faster.
After instructing Yunhai to inspect the newly mastered Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, ensuring it could tap into the Spirit Vein of the entire Earth Elent Star to activate the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon, Chen Mobai entered his Law Domain.
He planted the three Great Spirit Plants, then scattered so Water of Ten Thousand Transformations crafted by Qing Nu.
Thanks to the Law of the Five Tones, his prowess as a Spirit Plant Master easily reached Fifth Rank, and coupled with the soil environnt within the Domain that he could freely adjust, he could even use the Primordial Great Tao to create an aura conducive to their growth, so they thrived readily.
However, to allow them to mature enough to be utilized by cultivation practitioners of the Lasting Spring Cultivation, even with Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, would require a very long ti.
Chen Mobai even contemplated whether to integrate the Great Chun Divine Tree into his Domain directly in the future; this way, it could be done in one fell swoop. Yet he guessed the Spirit of Great Chun wouldn’t consent.
Having completed this task, Chen Mobai went to the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains to find Qi Yuheng.
"If she agrees to launch the war and leaves Earth Elent Star with us, I have no objection to her Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation."
Qi Yuheng unsurprisingly shared Chen Mobai’s view.
Although the Immortal Gate possessed the Primordial Bead thod, equivalent to having a void spiritual vein that wouldn’t deplete, it’s still insufficient to support so many deities.
Qi Yuheng had already decided to leave after launching the war, like Bai Guang Spirit Venerable, on the road to the Void Refining Realm at the Central Dojo.
Currently, there are six Great Deities within the Immortal Gate, and adding Peach Blossom would make seven.
Qi Yuheng thought that leaving two or three would suffice.
Among them, Qing Ping, who refined the Primordial Bead, must stay; even if there’s no successor, he might remain on Earth Elent Star until old age.
Others, like Cheng Xuan, are too advanced in years, staying would an waiting for death, best to leave together. Yunhai and Narcissus are quite suitable, one overseeing the Kunpeng lineage, the other commanding the Sea Territory.
But ideally, it should be Chen Mobai and Qing Ping staying.
But Chen Mobai is too noble; he declared early on that during the war, he would remain behind and, if survived by chance, would still leave.
In any case, Peach Blossom must accompany them.
Without this assurance, Qi Yuheng felt uneasy.
"Then I’ll inform her and let her decide for herself."
Having concluded their discussion, Chen Mobai also notified the other deities of this matter, and the likes of Narcissus and Qing Ping naturally had no objections.
...
"Master, what should be done?"
Peach Blossom Sage, having received Chen Mobai’s ssage, appeared worried.
"Just leave for a period; your body remains on Earth Elent Star, even if transported by portals, you can still rely on mysterious senses to return."
On the trunk of the Peach Tree appeared a face, calmly analyzing the current situation.
Peach Blossom Sage: "According to Pure Yang True Monarch, I am to swear never to return."
"Then do as they wish."
Peach Blossom Sage listened and looked puzzled.
If unable to return, what good is sensing its body’s location?
The face revealed its thoughts, causing Peach Blossom Sage to understand instantly, nodding repeatedly.
...
A month later, Peach Blossom Sage arrived at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, swore an oath before Qi Yuheng and other deities, and then received Sixth Rank Spiritual Energy supplied by the Immortal Gate, comncing Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation.
Her millennial accumulation, indeed, was extraordinary.
In this latest visit to Purple Cloud Palace, having realized the mystery of her transformation, and obtaining sufficient spiritual energy, she soon saw the embryo of a Soul Dharma Aspect.
On account of the ties between the two lineages, Chen Mobai had his Second Prival Spirit oversee temporarily, while he himself returned to the Tianhe Realm.
A matter over there required his handling.
Outside Wandering Mountain, Ku Zhu, who was about to leave, was suddenly called by a clear and lodic female cultivator’s voice from within: "Senior, please wait, the master requests your presence."
Upon hearing this, Ku Zhu quickly turned around, saluted towards the depths of Wandering Mountain, soon seeing the large formation’s restriction suddenly open a portal.
A lovely female cultivator with snow-white skin and a palace gown erged before him, inviting him inside.
"May I ask, is this the Southern Mountain Fairy under Blue Emperor’s seat?"
Ku Zhu, before offering treasures, had naturally inquired about Wandering Mountain’s situation, knowing that besides Chen Mobai, only his disciple Luo Yixuan was constantly by his side.
"Senior, you’re too kind, just call by my na."
Luo Yixuan always presented herself elegantly and graciously before outsiders. She smiled slightly, gesturing for Ku Zhu to follow her to et Chen Mobai.
"There are quite a few residual restrictions here, please be cautious not to misstep, Senior."
Upon hearing this, Ku Zhu nodded lightly.
The Wandering Mountain relics are renowned in these East Barbarians parts. However, since they lie at the junction between Five Elents Sect and Sun Bathing Sea, Kong Sang Valley didn’t interfere much. Still, so sect disciples have disguised themselves as loose cultivators to obtain chances left by Fanhai Sect here.
As a descendant of Subrged Abyss Island, Ku Zhu was curious about the forr residence of Fanhai Sect, one of the Hall of Ten Directions.
After stepping into the restrictions, he was about to examine the area carefully, but sensed an unusual movent in his Tianyuan Dao Fruit.
[What is going on?]
According to the tradition of Subrged Abyss Island, this phenonon indicates an encounter with Huangquan Dao Fruit or associated powers.
Ku Zhu was shocked inside but maintained a composed exterior. Since this was the territory of Divinity Transformation rank, he dared not directly activate the power of Dao Fruit for investigation, afraid of revealing any signs.
Previously, when he t Chen Mobai in Eastern Wilderness, the Tianyuan Dao Fruit hadn’t reacted this way, which ans the Huangquan Dao Fruit is not in the hands of the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor.
Does that an it’s here in Wandering Mountain?
Ku Zhu followed Luo Yixuan, while trying to use the fluctuation of the Tianyuan Dao Fruit to determine the approximate range.
But soon, he realized sothing was amiss.
Because the fluctuation was extrely stable.
In other words, it was always beside him?
Initially full of doubt, Ku Zhu quickly hit upon sothing, squinting his eyes to look at Luo Yixuan leading the way ahead.
On her?
The disciple of the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor possesses the power of Huangquan?
Upon discovering the truth, Ku Zhu was further astonished.
According to the standards of the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, this amounts to cultivating a demonic cultivation technique, warranting the handling of the entire Five Elents Sect or even the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor.
But this matter stayed in Ku Zhu’s mind.
He clearly understood, the so-called rules only serve to confine forces below the Holy Land. Even if it becos public that Luo Yixuan practices a demonic cultivation technique, the Nine Heavens Morality Sect would find ways to pin all guilt on her alone without implicating Five Elents Sect or the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor.
Indeed, they might not even handle Luo Yixuan.
After all, Chen Mobai, having already disposed of Bai Wu and the elder Flood Dragon, is unmistakably the first Divinity Transformation in East Continent.
The Nine Heavens Morality Sect simply lacks the power to sanction him.
After figuring this out, Ku Zhu knew that this matter must remain secret within him; if leaked out, even if he were to escape to the West Continent, he wouldn’t evade being slain and silenced by the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor’s flying sword.
"Senior, we have arrived, my master is just above."
At this ti, Luo Yixuan halted and then activated a talisman, quickly causing a five-colored cloud to descend from the mountain top. She stepped onto it with Ku Zhu, and within a few breaths, they landed atop the mountain.
"Greetings, Qing Emperor Senior!"
Seeing Chen Mobai sitting not far away enjoying tea, Ku Zhu imdiately greeted him.
"Take a seat."
Chen Mobai gestured to the seat beside him.
After approaching, Ku Zhu first handed over three storage bags: "These were obtained after I slew Bai Wu Ancestor..."
The puppet Chen Mobai left in Wandering Mountain had received this ssage, prompting him to co personally.
"What a pity for such a heaven and earth treasure like the Sun God Tree."
Sweeping his divine sense, Chen Mobai already saw in one of the storage bags a familiar spirit plant imbued with extensive fire elent Yuan Qi. Back in the day, at his cave dwelling beside the Sun God Tree, he witnessed this Rank-5 spirit plant.
Though he contemplated obtaining this spirit plant before, he didn’t foresee circumstances unfolding in this manner.
To one from the Immortal Gate like him, Bai Wu Ancestor’s actions were truly a wasteful misuse of a treasure, leaving him heartbroken.
"Although this spirit plant was severed, most of its elental energy was sealed by a secret technique, counted as a fortune amidst misfortune,"
Ku Zhu remarked. After slaying Bai Wu, he naturally checked the storage bags; if not for the mismatch in attribute with the Sun God Tree, he would have reluctantly handed over this spirit plant.
"Xuan, notify your sister to co over, see if she can cultivate it anew,"
Chen Mobai nodded, instructing as Luo Yixuan handed over the storage bags before him.
Ku Zhu sensibly took his leave.
"Though this item holds limited use for , it is an unparalleled treasure to strengthen the foundation of my sect. I shall accept it graciously. Does Daoist Ku Zhu need anything of aid?"
Always returning favors given, since Ku Zhu presented this treasure, Chen Mobai surely would express reciprocation.
"What binds right now is the Kong Sang Valley left by my master. Under your sect’s leadership in these East Barbarians, peace akin to Eastern Wilderness is inevitable in the future. I’m planning on heading to the West Continent for revenge soon and hope Qing Emperor Senior can look after my sect upon my departure."
Chen Mobai nodded, indicating it’s a minor task.
Later, when Ku Zhu was about to leave, Chen Mobai spoke a sentence that shocked him to the core: "It seems Daoist has a sealed Dao Fruit on you; if not averse, I can use Primordial True Qi to dispel all its seals."
